Hey hey hey! “Positive Tunes” right here! I'm JR.

And this is where we sing and learn English with all these positive cool beats.

No swearing, no sex, no violence. Only positivity!!

Alright! I bet today's tune is definitely gonna strike a chord with all the young hearts out there

'cos it was definitely my teenage reflection.

Kind of the song that makes you 
wanna sing your heart out to

And if you're a little bit older, it's totally okay.

As long as you embrace a young heart 
like me it's… good.

Okay, so this is Simple Plan's song back in 2004

When you're 17 or 18, you're young, you're sort of caught up in between adulthood and childhood.

while other times they tell you to keep 
out of grown-up's business.

You're kind of caught up in between, and that's sucks!

Do you want me to be a kid or do you 
want me to be a grown up?

And when you're young, the mind is so sensitive.

It's kind of like how kid's taste buds are much more sensitive in various ways compared to the adult.

So when kids are eating and they say 
something's spicy.

And the parent keeps telling them, “ No, it's not.”

Parents… my advice... just feed your kids candy.

That'll make everybody happy including your dentist.

So this song is about that teenage angst you get

when you're in middle school or high school where everything doesn't seem right.

So let's sing it out, and hear out the lyrics.

With the radio on turned up so loud 
that no one hears you screaming

You don't know what it's like to be like me

Okay, that's the song. I hope you like it.

You know we've all been through that when we were kids, when we were young.

And this is the part where we break down the lyrics and teach you some or the related phrases and vocabulary.

So today's phrases and vocabulary are 
all emotion-related. So here it goes.

The first phrase, “break down,” means fail or collapse.

Not comfortable in or suitable for a certain situation occasion.

Okay, here we need to take a look at “left out”

he or she is sad because she or he is 
not included in a group of activity.

The lyrics, "On the edge of breaking down"

To need or want something extremely much.

you want something extremely much and feel you have no hope that you are ready to do anything to change the situation you are in.

The lyrics, "Are you desperate to find sth more before your life is over."
